Hi folks,

I am new in codeigniter 4, when needed to manipulate some excel files in my app I found the phpspreadsheet library convenient for that. However, after installing it using  composer I found it difficult to implement it in my app. 


Even when I tested their example hereafter couldn't work instead displayed 

<?php

require 'vendor/autoload.php';

use PhpOffice\PhpSpreadsheet\Spreadsheet;
use PhpOffice\PhpSpreadsheet\Writer\Xlsx;

$spreadsheet = new Spreadsheet();
$sheet = $spreadsheet->getActiveSheet();
$sheet->setCellValue('A1', 'Hello World !');
$writer = new Xlsx($spreadsheet);
$writer->save('hello world.xlsx');

require(vendor/autoload.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory 


I need a help on how to set it up and use it in my app.

Hi, CI4 already knows where composer are located. This is how you load it inside an controller

PHP Code:

<?php
namespace App\Controllers;

use \PhpOffice\PhpSpreadsheet\Spreadsheet;
use \PhpOffice\PhpSpreadsheet\Writer\Xlsx;

class Example extends BaseController
{
    public function index()
    {
        $spreadsheet = new Spreadsheet();
        $sheet = $spreadsheet->getActiveSheet();
        $sheet->setCellValue('A1', 'Hello World !');
        $writer = new Xlsx($spreadsheet);
        $writer->save('hello world.xlsx');
    }
}
